Penny, an exalt from me too !

Congratulations everyone, this is now 24th May ! Thank you for being such great "Glow-Friends" !

I do get my qualms from time to time about spending too much time at the computer

- but I thoroughly enjoy your company, be it in virtual reality or in real life.

Today is also big day in Denmark, as we will be celebrating the royal wedding between our Queen Margrethes youngest son, Prince Joachim and his Parisian fiancée Marie Cavallier. Guess whose TV will be on all day !

(Prince J. is SUCH a dork........., but there will be amazing dresses and bling-bling to look at !)

Also if my beloved father had lived, 24th May would have been his 85 years birthday ! My father and I shared an unforgettable week in Paris in 1973. It was my first trip, it will always have a special place in my heart and there will never be another trip quite like it.

Woohoo! Happy Anniversary!!!

Begging your pardon if I don't make it online at the proper hour later today--we're celebrating hubby's b'day & son's b'day (in 2 days) at our home away from home in Mammoth, and I'm not sure what that hour will bring, what with fishing, hiking and a picnic, etc. on the schedule. But I will definitely be thinking about you all if I'm away from the ol' computer!

The important thing is for you to be thinking of OPF at the given hour, which you know by heart since you're the one who set it up.

Yes Max William has just been born to celebrate the 1st anniversary of our paris forum all NINE POUNDS (owch!) of him.

Mum ,baby, dad, grandma Denise and big brother Joseph are doing well.
Unfortunatley I have had a fault on my account and have been unable to logon for two days. (not that I would have had time in the past 24 hours!) So I had created a new username so I could communicate with the powers that be.
So sorry I HAD to post under my psedonym as I had to share the wonderful news and take part in the anniversary.
Hope you all have a great day... go easy on the champagne....

I have already told Max all about Paris and he was VERY impressed!

Wow! What an eventful day it's been already! And it's only 6am for me. Screaming alarms, birthdays, weddings, and Joachim The Dork's wedding! I've exalted you, Penny, as well for that great start to Our Paris Anniversary. It's very clever and well-done.

Happy Anniversary to all!

demarais, the royal family speak an Oxford-sounding English - except for our crownprince, he is so much NOT good at foreign languages, he has a horrible Danish accent in his English.

BTW, they speak French at court, because of the prince consort, papa Henri (that's why he never really learned a proper Danish)
